[JOLSE] Keep in Touch White Blending Base Cushion Review

Hello beauties!

Today I want to share my review on a cushion from Keep in Touch. I've heard of this brand but I never tried any of the products so this is my first time using one of their products which is the White Blending Base Cushion.



Description:
Instant self-blending white cushion is combination of Whitening Moisture Base to brighten your complexion and Color Cover Base to correct uneven skin tone.
This customized dual blending cushion design is formulated with the patented Hybrid-Sharing Technology, stabilized serum-based moisturizers and cover base work together to provide ultimate hydration, while working to reduce discoloration for more even, uniform skin.


SIZE:
This cushion contains 15g of product, which I'm quite thankful for.

SHADES:
There are two shades available based on the info card given inside the box:-

#01 Ivory Pure: For the fairest porcelain skin with pink light undertones to skin with pink undertones.
#02 Ivory Warm: For the lightest skin with yellow-olive undertones to medium skin with yellow-olive undertones.

I got mine in shade #02 Ivory Warm.

WHAT IT DOES:
Keep In Touch claims that this cushion has both whitening essence and color cover base which can give a much more brighter and even skin tone. Dark circles, blemishes and freckles can be covered all day long by using this cushion. It gives a subtle glow along with a milk-like whitening effect to your skin. Not only that but this Keep in Touch cushion also provides moisture to the skin and make your face looks more elastic.

HOW TO USE:
Use the enclosed applicator, spread evenly and gently tap.

INGREDIENTS LIST:
You can refer to cosdna for the ingredients list, where irritants and acne triggers identified by them has already been indicated accordingly.

PACKAGING:




















It comes in a very cute cardboard box with a big heart printed on it. You can find the stylish compact on the inside with the same design as the box except for the colourful lines(?) surrounding the heart.
The compact has a clear UV coating which protects it from external scratches or traces of fingerprints so there's nothing to worry about.
The silver line circling the compact makes it look more elegant which I quite love. And it's quite reflective too as you can see from the image above!
There is a seal protecting the mirror inside so you can always remove it to use the mirror properly.
It has a very well-closer inner cap which is good for preventing evaporation.
Like most cushions, the White Blending Base Cushion comes with a protective sticker that needs to be removed before using.
The manufactured date can be found at the back. As usual, the product should be used up within 12 months after opening it.
The White Blending Base Cushion comes with a much bigger yet plain white puff.

REVIEW:


When I pressed onto the sponge


Below are the swatches:-





The Keep In Touch White Blending Base Cushion has a SPF50+ PA+++ which helps to prevent aging caused by sun damage.
It has a nice and pleasant smell, a bit floral. It's not strong, at least not to me, and it goes away rather quickly once applied.
It has an interesting concept where you can use the Color Cover Base alone and use the Whitening Moisture Base as a highlighter. Or you can either use both and have a flawless looking skin.




This cushion has a good coverage, from low to medium and can be buildable.
It gives me satin finish and I'm quite satisfied with that.
However, this cushion tends to cling onto your dry patches after several hours but it's not that noticeable.
What I really love about this cushion is that it managed to cover the redness on my cheeks.
If you have a combination skin, I would recommend this to you since it's not too drying and has a moisturizing effect.

Below are some tips for application of the cushion and also how to change to a new cushion case:-




PROS:
Has SPF50+ PA+++
Good coverage
Doesn't break me out
Has a pleasant smell
Beautiful packaging
Light on the skin
Travel friendly
Moisturizing formula
No stickiness
Easy to blend

CONS:
The white packaging may get dirty
Can settle into fine lines after several hours
Not suitable for those who are sensitive to floral fragrance
Lack of shade options
The darker shade out of the two may still be a tad bit light for some people
Doesn't help to minimize the look of pores

OVERALL:
I find this to be a decent cushion. Will I purchase it again? Nope. I rather try different cushions instead of buying this again because like I said, it's just a meh product for me.

RATING:
6/10

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at Jolse.com for USD15.58 + free shipping.

Have you guys try out this cushion yet? Do share with me your experience in using this cushion! ^^

INGREDIENTS LIST:
You can find the major ingredients list here

PACKAGING:











I'm using the flash so that you can see the manufactured date.

It comes in a black cardboard box with white wordings. On the inside, you can find the elegant black compact with reflective surface.
Beware though, traces of fingerprints and scratches can be seen across the surface.
There is an expiration date and some basic information about this cushion at the back. The product should be used up within 12 months after opening it.












A closer look.

The BCDation Moisture Cover Cushion comes with a plain white/black puff.
You can see a separator lid used to separate the cushion from the puff and also to store the cushion from air.
There's a sticker sealed covering the product upon opening the lid.
As you can see from the images above, you have to press a little harder to get out the product.

REVIEW:



Clio Kill Brown Longlasting Brush Liner
Etude House Oh My Line No.01 Oh My Black


Tap one layer.


Tap with two layers.


Here's a swatch.

The TonyMoly BCDation Moisture Cover Cushion+ has a SPF50+ and PA+++ which is pretty high and suitable for summer.
It has a floral scent which I quite love.
This cushion has a pretty low to medium coverage! It does not fully cover blemishes completely but at least, it makes them less noticeable.
Although I have a combo skin, I prefer cushions/bb creams/foundations that gives me a dewy finish but this cushion does not complies with the name. I bought this because of the word 'Moisture' but it only gives me that semi-matte instead of 'chok-chok' finish.
This cushion also tends to look cakey especially around your smile lines so I suggest you guys to be careful when applying this onto your face.
The lasting power was amazing though! It lasted me throughout the whole day, roughly around 7-8 hours even without setting powder except at the nose part at which I had to reapply it.
It also did a good job in hiding my blackheads but not so much on pores.
I think this cushion would work for people with non-sensitive & combination skin because they don't have to worry about it highlighting any dry areas.

PROS:
Has SPF50+ PA+++
Decent coverage
Affordable
Amazing lasting power
Doesn't break me out
Floral scent

CONS:
Not all of your blemishes will be covered
Doesn't give you that shiny skin tone as it claims
Less product
Tends to look cakey around your smile lines
Traces of fingerprints/scractches can be seen across the surface
Not suitable for those who are sensitive to fragrance

OVERALL:
I love using this cushion despite its weaknesses but it's definitely not one of my HG though. I might consider repurchasing the refills but on the other hand, I would like to try different cushions to find which one really suits me.

RATING:
7/10

WHERE TO BUY:
You can purchase it at Jolse for USD7.63 + free shipping.
